Hollywood forums

I noticed some stability issues with a certain program after compiling it with a newer Hollywood version, and finally had some time to hunt the issue down. It looks that if there are input events for a display, which is freed before the events are handled, it causes different kinds of symptoms. The ...

I haven't seen any issues with filerequest(). Can you provide a short full example code how to reproduce the issue (MCVE)?

You say "noise", do you mean an actual audible buzz where you are basing your observation about HD access? Can you monitor HD access by software in any way to confirm it's actually accessing HD? When running on MorphOS, please enable Drivelamps screenbar module and see if it's flashing or ...

I would keep it as msg.ID, because msg.ID will get the "about" as an value anyway. It would be more all-around code then if you happen to create another window in the program or want to re-use the code later.

In your RapaGUI event function, you probably should have something like this: Switch msg.Class Case "Window": Switch msg.Attribute Case "CloseRequest": Switch msg.ID Case "main_window": ; The main window was closed, end the program End ; or call your quit function Defau...

The topic seems to be completed with jPV's solution, but I wanted to learn something and have experimented with RunOutput and think that it still fits here. Run() probably doesn't work in this case that well, at least without some extra effort, because you probably also want to process the output q...

The Version command fails and returns code 10 if it doesn't find a version string in a file, and the return code is 20 if it doesn't find a file at all. These return codes are outputted if you use the command in a script, which Hollywood's Execute() seems to do in practise. Redirecting the command o...

I think this is a bug in MorphOS (MUI). It looks like it actually gets activated, but it just isn't shown/indicated in this case. You can test this by adding an item to the left side listview, and then select the listview (without clicking the item), and then press the cursor down key. The item gets...

My solution with Real Amiga SWOS Total Pack was to create a shell script which updates the application and then re-launches it. I give the location of the application to the shell script as an argument so that it knows where to update and where to re-launch it again. So it goes like this: 1) Create/...

Yeah, you can catch the error in your script and then open a requester to tell the user to close the application. Make your program to try again after that.
